Weaving motorist arrested with drugs

An officer arrested a University of Georgia student early Thursday after he spotted a car weaving on Lexington Road and found the driver was drunk and had drugs in the car, Athens-Clarke police said.

Michael Kenny Stone, 19, of Statesboro, was driving east on Lexington Road about 1:30 a.m. when an officer saw the car weaving and speed up near the Gaines School Road intersection, police said.

The officer followed the car as it turned into Laurel Oaks Apartments, where Stone seemed confused and explained he was driving from a fraternity meeting to UGA's Creswell Hall, a couple miles in the other direction, according to police.

Stone failed a roadside sobriety test, and when the officer searched his car he found a jar of marijuana and a bottle with Xanax and amphetamine pills, police said.

Stone was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, DUI, underage consumption of alcohol, failure to maintain lane and improper driving, police said.
